Additional notes
The band broke up in 1991, but reformed in 2005. A first reunion featuring vocalist Dave Woodard was planned in 2003, but never came to light. Following the death of guitarist Mike Scaccia on December 23rd, 2012, the band broke up permanently.
In 2014, the surviving members and their friend Mike Taylor of Rabid Flesh Eaters formed a one-off tribute band called The Scaccianators to play the first Mike Scaccia Rock the Heart Foundation concert. They formed another tribute band afterwards, Wizards of Gore, to play the CD Release Party for Slaves to the Grave and the Housecore Records Horror Film Festival. From then until 2018, Wizards of Gore continued performing for special events, especially those regarding Rigor Mortis, and were in the process of working on new material. The material has since been scrapped following Bruce Corbitt's death in 2019.
